Retail Success: Cross-sell
“Mary, I know you
are a fan of Magic Mineral powder foundations. Have you ever tried their powder blush?”
24
Retail success: Up-selling & Add-ons
“Jennifer, the cleanser you are getting is also available in a travel size. Would you like to add that since you are often away on business trips?”
25
Retail Success: Promotions
“Terry, Le Spa is hosting a seminar on preventing sun damage next Monday. The cost is $20 and includes lunch, a full-spectrum sunscreen, and a sun visor. May I sign you up?”
26
Retail Success: Incentives
“Robert, if you purchase any treatment serum today, you’ll receive a complimentary full-size cleanser. Would you like to get the eye serum we talked about earlier?”
27
Retail Success: Samples
“Max, here is a sample of the men’s shave gel. Try it for a few days to see how your skin reacts to it before you open the bottle you purchased.”
28
Retail Success: Pre-booking
29
Don’t ask, “Would you like to book another appointment?” Instead say,
“I’d like to see you in three weeks for a follow-up treatment. I have Tuesday or Thursday that week open. Would you prefer a morning or afternoon appointment?”
Let them choose when, not if.
Sales Hurdles & Challenges
30
It’s too expensive! Know your products and the value of using high quality ingredients. Most spa and salon grade skin care products can be used sparingly because they contain high quality ingredients. Better products = better results.
Sales Hurdles & Challenges
I can get it elsewhere for less.
31
O Anticipate concerns and objections and be ready with answers about your return program, product guarantees, and other incentives for in-house purchases.
O Remind them that professional-grade products most likely have a higher concentration of active ingredients.
Sales Hurdles & Challenges
I already have products. Sell to the pain or problem the client wants to solve. Highlight one or two products the client can add to their routine to help get the results they want.
32
Sales Hurdles & Challenges
33
I’m afraid it won’t work. Speak from your personal experience with the product and share the positive results you and others have had.
Sales Hurdles & Challenges
34
I don’t understand how to use it. Understand your client’s needs so you can customize the sale and product type to the buyer. Demonstrate using the product, give directions for use, and be sure to follow up.
Tips for Closing the Sale
Know your clients’ desired results and goals for their skin, beauty, and well-being.
35
Tips for Closing the Sale
Recommend and sell only products that create results or advance client goals.
36
Tips for Closing the Sale
Know and believe in your products.
37
Tips for Closing the SaleO Be familiar with
each product’s uses, ingredients, and results it offers.
O Tell the client you are recommending these products “for your skin” to personalize the interaction.
38
Tips for Closing the SaleRefer to the products used during the treatment or service. Let your client try the product on his or her hand, then place it in his or her hand.
39
Tips for Closing the SaleBe genuine and speak from personal experience about your products.
Ask “which products would you like to take home today?”
NOT“Would you like to take products home today?”
Never give clients the option to say “no” with yes-or-no questions.
40
Keep in Mind …O You are the expert.O Clients may not own expensive cars,
clothes, or designer purses, but they do spend money on their complexions.
O Professional lines have higher percentages of active ingredients.
Mandy McCleave, consultant and trainer
41
Keep in mind …O The customer is already
in your treatment room, so go ahead and sell.
O The best way to counter a price objection is to offer a value proposition.
O It may be worth a lot to clients to have the skin they want.
42
The AfterglowO Follow up with a call
and/or an email.O Share information
on related products and events.
O Ask about product results and satisfaction level at the next appointment.
